South Pacific - Fiji (Chapter)

This is the Fiji chapter from Lonely Planet's South Pacific guidebook.

With alabaster beaches, cloudless skies and kaleidoscopic reefs, Fiji is the embodiment of the South Pacific dream. It's arguably the easiest place in the region to travel and boasts a friendly population, two robust cultures and accommodation to suit most budgets.

• relax in the cobalt waters and somniferous sun of the Mamanuca and Yasawa islands
